I wonder if they recovered the Xbox controller?
Controllers like that are used on nuclear attack submarines aswell so that is not the issue even though it might seem funny to someone not familiar with this stuff.
Those companies have made billions of them over several decades. It's much more reliable to go with a one like that than to develop a new one from scratch. Submarines don't implode because it was steered by a logitech controller
Nuclear subs do not however use them for propulsion. Something like a very basic input delay or other Bluetooth issue could be catastrophic.
TIL 10 millisecond delay will cause a submarine to explode.
It wouldn’t be that dramatic but things like loosing connection briefly to propulsion could be incredibly dangerous when diving near a shipwreck.
